• Documents		Death Certificate of James Sebastian McKenzie (b. 1846)
  		1880 Federal Census of Allegany County, MD with all McKenzies Listed This document is an Excel spreadsheet compiled by Michael A. McKenzie, the author and webmaster. The information was drawn from the 1880 Federal Census for Allegany County, Maryland. He attempted to take every McKenzie (and spelling variation thereof) and tie that person back to the original ancestor of all McKenzies of Early Maryland, John McKenzie (b. 1687). Other than a few instances, he was able to make the connection for every McKenzie living in Allegany County in 1880.

James fought at Antietem, and his horse was shot out from under him. He fell and his head hit a stone. He was in the hospital for quite some time. He continued to have problems with this injury until his death. In 1889, he was committed to the Sylvan Retreat, which was a facility here in Cumberland for the mentally ill. He died there in 1902." "James Sebastian enlisted in the union army at the same time his cousin, John William, enlisted. John William was Sarah (McKenzie) McKenzie's brother. Apparently, James and John were close friends. James and John died within weeks of each other in 1902. Both are buried in the St. patrick's Cemetery, Cumberland." Per Ray Leidinger, James Sebastian was christianed on 19 Dec 1873, and married 30 Dec 1873, both events in St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Cumberland, Maryland by the Rev. Edward Brennan.
